$ emerge -av crossdev

Create a stable armv7a-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi tool chain for the Cubieboard2:

$ crossdev -S -t armv7a-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi

$ mkdir gentoo-cb2
$ cd gentoo-cb2
$ git clone https://github.com/linux-sunxi/u-boot-sunxi.git
$ cd u-boot-sunxi

Start clean and configure Cubieboard2 default u-boot parameters

$ CROSS_COMPILE=armv7a-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi- make distclean
$ CROSS_COMPILE=armv7a-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi- make Cubieboard2_config

should return

Configuring for Cubieboard2 - Board: sun7i, Options: CUBIEBOARD2,SPL,SUNXI_GMAC,STATUSLED=244,STATUSLED1=245,FAST_MBUS

Build u-boot

$ CROSS_COMPILE=armv7a-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi- make -j4

should return something like

tools/mkimage -A arm -T firmware -C none \
        -O u-boot -a 0x4a000000 \
        -e 0 \
        -n  "U-Boot 2014.01-rc1-09153-gc75ea90 for sunxi board" \
        -d u-boot.bin u-boot.img

and produce the following files we will need:

-rwxr-xr-x 17644  Jan  8 10:47 ./gentoo-cb2/u-boot-sunxi/spl/u-boot-spl.bin

$ cd ..
$ git clone https://github.com/linux-sunxi/linux-sunxi.git
$ cd linux-sunxi
$ git checkout sunxi-3.4

Use default config to get something to start with

$ CROSS_COMPILE=armv7a-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi- ARCH=arm make sun7i_defconfig

Tweak your kernel according to your wishes

$ CROSS_COMPILE=armv7a-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi- ARCH=arm make menuconfig
